The world’s most famous Indian chef is back with a bang in Bangkok. Gaggan Anand’s eponymous restaurant, located in the southeast of the Thai capital, serves 28 diners at each sitting – more akin to a food-led operatic performance than a conventional meal. Molecular gastronomy, cutting-edge equipment, complex techniques and global influences from the international kitchen team all play a part in the highly creative menu.

Classic dishes like Lick It Up, a multi-coloured Holi gulal made from vegetables dyes, are in constant evolution: every element sees an assault of flavour on the palate’s taste receptors. New signatures crop up routinely, such as the Channa Masala Paper, made with chickpeas and frozen pomegranate. The drinks offering majors on natural and biodynamic wines as well as artisanal cocktails. Diners are also asked to fill out a unusual questionnaire after booking, with requests for your favourite band, favourite swear word and position of choice from the Karma Sutra. It’s a typically irreverent introduction to a memorable experience.
